Integration of Migrants in the EU: Why Such Differences Between Member States?

Since the early 1990s, immigration has been a more important source of population increase in the EU than the natural change due to births and deaths, while in recent years Europe is facing a large inflow of refugees. At the same time, Eurobarometer opinion surveys reveal that immigration tops the list of challenges that EU citizens are most concerned about and therefore effective policies toward immigration are more important now than ever.

The German Institute for Economic Research hosts an event discussing the differences of integration policies within the EU. Following the keynote address by Jutta Cordt on European and German immigration policies, the event will focus on integration of migrants in the EU and explore the reasons behind the large differences in migration integration effectiveness across the EU member states.

The event will take place in Berlin on Monday, January 29, 2018, from 11.00 to 13.30. Event language is English.
